We welcome applications for STFC funded studentships for
postgraduate research with projects in simulation and data analysis
of space, solar and astrophysical plasmas.
Visit the
Astronomy Unit PhD web pages, and follow the links for Projects
to find out about our research.

Prof. David Burgess.

The Space and Astrophysical Plasmas group
carries out research into the naturally occurring plasmas which
pervade the solar system. We use state of the art numerical
simulation and analysis of data from scientific spacecraft.
The group has a broad range of interests, including
the solar wind, plasma turbulence, collisionless shocks, plasma
waves and instabilities, and reconnection.
We have involvement in several spacecraft missions, including
Cluster,
Solar Orbiter
and Solar Probe Plus.

The Space Plasma Group is part of the
Astronomy Unit
which carries out research in a wide range of areas from Cosmology
to Solar System physics.
